Hello,
I'm in dire need of assistance, my server is a 32 slot, Gmod TTT server.
My server keeps failing to change map and restart itself in over half of the map changes each day.
Info:
I have been running my server since 2016, I was originally with Nitrous Networks, but a year ago switched to hexane Networks.
Context:
About a month or two ago my server started getting client index buffer issues, this was around the time of Garry Mod's Halloween update, but I later found out to be due to an addon called "Advanced Sprays", in which the "decal" setting was too high, causing players to "client index buffer" during map change. That was all resolved and everything continued as normal.
Then a few weeks later, out of no where -the server began randomly restarting itself during map change, it gets stuck on either my loading screen, saying "Retrieving server info..." and then you have to reconnect (because the server failed to switch map and had auto restarted) and sometimes it fails to even get past the default Gmod loading screen with that little spinning box.
At first I checked all my recent addons to see if anything I added was causing it, from skins, maps to normal addons - and nothing is, so I resulted in cleaning my sb.db, that didn't work, I checked for out dated and broken addons, it was none of them - I ran Steam updates and even freshly re-installed my server, spending 7 hours none-stop, one-by-one adding everything until the issue replicated, and it did, but I couldn't figure out what was causing it, it just seems so illusive.
My server provider host CEO has tried helping by adding certain things to my server.cfg, I've have also changed my command line manager, server.cfg and other settings to make sure there were no inconsistencies causing any issues. I tried having my maps load different ways, re-installing addons such as "fretta like mapvoting" which hundreds of thousands of people use.
I'm just frankly lost for words on what to do and need some expert assistance, hoping that someone knows what is wrong and can point me in the right direction to fixing this asap as it's getting really frustrating for my community and myself.
The server will fail to change map and restart itself in over half of the map changes each day.
PLEASE could someone help, I would highly appreciate it.
